It's not surprising that The Columbus Dispatch would fail to mention this, as they're Republicans who inherited the paper from daddy. I do find it amusing that their source for Boehner's reform credentials is a Republican lobbyist who insisted on anonymity.

As for following the sentence "He doesn't want to get caught up in all the hoopla ... and the trappings of power" with "Boehner, who set his sights on becoming speaker as far back as 1991 when he was a freshman House member...", not even M.C Hammer could touch this.
